NEW CLARK ROLLS
New March Bulletin of Up-to-Date Music for
Coinola and Empress Models An-
nounced This Week.
The Clark Orchestra Roll Co., De Kalb, 111., has
issued its March bulletin of orchestrion rolls for
Coinola and Empress Orchestrions; for the "Em-
press" Styles: Y, Yl, B, BB, AS, C, F, V, R and
all orchestrion combinations and for "Coinola" Styles
D, C2, X, AF, AX, CF, CB and K.
The new rolls include spirited dance tunes, popular
songs, blues and marches, and every number has the
quality of timeliness that makes for success for coin-
operated instruments.
The success of the Clark Orchestra Roll Co. may
be attributed to the continuation of favor by its cus-
tomers. Rolls are judged by musical merits, of
course, but other elements go to attaining that favor
and preserving it. The company prides itself on the
methods of roll making which, in every particular,
aims for the satisfaction of the customer. In that
way Clark roll buyers are loyal friends and boosters
for the makers.
JACK KAPP'S NEW DUTIES
Well Known Man in Phonograph Industry Has Orig-
inal Plans for Distribution.
Jack Kapp has been made manager of sales by
J. E. Henderson, record chief of the Brunswick-
Balke-Collender Co., Chicago, and also been made
director of the Vocalion records.
Mr. Kapp, who is well known in the industry, has
devised a plan for merchandising Vocalion records in
specific classes, each of which will be released sepa-

rately and will be accompanied by special dealer's
helps and other merchandising material, so that the
dealer can concentrate on the particular type of rec-
ord that sells best in his territory. Under the plan,
too, there w T ill be only one release monthly of an
individual group of records. The Vocalion records
will be handled exclusively through jobbers, an im-
posing list of whom have been appointed in various
sections of the country.
Mr. Kapp has a thorough knowledge of music and
has been responsible not only for bringing a number
of very successful artists into the Vocalion ranks, but
has also selected a number of musical pieces for re-
cordings that have proven hits.

ANOTHER "OLD STRAD."
A news item from Darlington, Wis., says Marian
McQuaid, fifteen-year-old school girl, liked to play
the violin, but she was ashamed to be seen in public
with the old fiddle belonging to her father. She had
about decided to get a new one when her teacher,
looking it over, saw on an age-browned paper inside
the instrument the words: "Stradivarius, Cremona
Anno 1721." An expert will be consulted to see if
the violin is a genuine Stradivarius. It has been in
the girl's family fifty years.
SPECHT ON RADIO.
Paul Specht was heard by listeners in the East
again on February 15 over station WOR, when he
broadcasted with his Jardin Royal orchestra from that
restaurant on Broadway. Specht's Wednesday broad-
cast was the first in some months for Specht himself,
although his Capitolians at the Capitol Theater are

Specht's band hereafter kill be Thursday from 11:05
